That's completely understandable. To tell you the truth, we would also want to provide the GIFs without a watermark. However, we need to create brand awareness. Let's hope we will get to the point when we can remove it very soon :)

We will think how to make our brand more memorable, thanks.

Yes there is. You can use #captain america in the end of the sentence to change the meaning of your sentence.

For example: I'm your hero #captain america

@diminish Thank you for the suggestion. We will probably use the thumbnail to make the experience better.

You can go to https://guggy.com/ and just write anything in the input on the top of the page and click on Make GIF.

Is that not working for you?

Yes, most of our traffic comes from places like Viber and FB messenger extension, we only started to really focus on our apps recently. Guggy sounds to us like a funny and casual word. It's actually very similar to the word funny.

That's true, however, it important to mention that Guggy is mostly meant for messaging.

- The colored boxes should be replaced very quickly to the gif. We find a spinner to be too much of a distraction. We may change the colored boxes to a thumbnail of the gif.

- You can post the gif to FB and reddit using the share buttons. What do you mean by embed?

- Advanced customizations and photo upload are on our roadmap, we can't tell yet when we will do it

Thanks for the feedback.

As you mentioned, front page results are meant to demonstrate our tech. We are constantly trying to balance the humor side and that, however, making sure every result is funny is not very scalable.
